10. Software Science Research Central to research carried out in Nijmegen are models and modeling. We explore the systematic use of models as the primary artifacts throughout the engineering lifecycle of computer-based systems. We do research on: Domain specific modelling languages Model learning, their manual construction and automatic generation Model-based reasoning, model-based testing, verification and validation
